Want to avoid ageing eyes and those dreaded reading glasses?
Enjoy easy vision once again. This advanced reading glasses surgery gives you clarity and clear vision from near to far, without compromise.
Are you a candidate? Let’s find out…
Struggling to read the fine print or your computer screen? Can’t deal with the thought of relying on reading glasses or multifocals for life? PRESBYOND is an advanced LASIK procedure that puts an end to the pains of presbyopia. It brings close-up, mid-range and distance vision within easy reach.
With PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision Correction there’s no more need for reading glasses. (And no more head tilting to find the perfect angle in those multifocals either.) This highly individualised treatment requires specialised expertise and technology. We’re the only clinic in Melbourne equipped with both.
I am grateful every single day! I’d give them 11/10 score rating! Excellent customer service, brilliant communication throughout, literally cannot fault them in any area. So, so grateful.

Benefits
Suitability
Not everyone is suitable for PRESBYOND treatment. But it can be life-changing for those who are. Here’s what our ideal PRESBYOND candidate looks like:
Sounds like me!
Not a PRESBYOND candidate? Disappointing (we get it) but don’t worry. We have options!
Refractive lens exchange with multifocal and trifocal technology (IOL) could be your path to clearer vision.
Tech talk
As our eye’s lens naturally loses its flexibility, it’s less able to zoom from distant to near objects, and reading gets harder and harder. This is called presbyopia.
While other Melbourne ophthalmologists still resort to traditional solutions, like refractive lens exchange and IOL implantation, at ELS, we prefer the safer, less invasive and more accurate procedure PRESBYOND.
PRESBYOND surgery doesn’t require the removal your eye’s natural lens. Instead, it uses an advanced algorithm to harness the safety and track record of LASIK.
In all laser vision correction treatments, we apply a laser pulse to the cornea to create the precise shape necessary to restore clear, crisp vision.
During a PRESBYOND treatment, one eye is corrected for distance vision, while the other eye is corrected for near vision. Unlike monovision treatments, PRESBYOND also optimises the depth of field for each eye individually. Meaning you retain binocular vision.
We numb your eyes with anaesthetic eye drops and offer a mild sedative for increased comfort.
Using the VisuMax® 800 femtosecond laser, we create a corneal flap and gently fold it back
The MEL 90 excimer laser creates the precise corneal shape necessary to correct your vision.
We gently replace the flap which heals naturally without stitches. The entire procedure takes about 20 minutes for both eyes.
Your eyes are likely to be stingy and sore for the first 4 hours after surgery, but visual correction is almost instantaneous. Clear shields should be worn for the first few nights to protect your eyes from bumping or rubbing.
Although your vision improves for distance and reading overnight, it continues to do so over time as neural adaptation kicks in.
Most people go back to work within days and sporting activities after a fortnight.
Just like any surgical procedure, PRESBYOND surgery does carry some risks. Rest assured, we’ll explain these at your first consultation and provide clear guidance all the way.
